He asked staff for their estimated time on <br />the presentations. <br /> <br />I. Metro Plan Overview. <br /> <br />Kent Howe, Lane County Planning Director, said about 12 minutes for staff presentation, then time for <br />questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Howe presented a power point presentation. He noted that during the last JEO meeting, they <br />discussed the following five Lane County issues: 1) Annexation Policies; 2) Metro Plan Description of <br />Urban Services; 3) perceived Citizen Disenfranchisement; 4) Jurisdictional Autonomy/Metro Plan <br />Boundary Adjustment; and 5) Dispute Resolution Policies. Direction was given for a subcommittee to <br />meet and report back today, but the subcommittee was not able to meet during that time, so staff would be <br />presenting an overview of the Metro Plan, following up with the subcommittee’s work later in the month. <br /> <br />Today’s JEO presentation would include background, Metro Plan, emerging issues and conclusions. <br /> <br />Mr. Howe discussed Oregon Senate Bill 100 which was passed in 1973 which required jurisdictions to <br />adopt comprehensive plans which established the concept of urban growth boundaries. Statewide <br />planning laws required comprehensive land use plans, locally coordinated and consistent with state goals. <br /> <br />
